XF4 Sources HELP

From: Andreas Tobler <hidden>

Hi,

I'd like to enter the XF4 world, but I can't download the whole 40 or more
MegaBytes. I have the 4.0.0 sources and the 4.0.1 diffs. Now question nbr1: how
do I create the three tar.gz out of an expanded XF4 source tree?
Next question, is it possible to update an expanded tree via cvs? I tried before
but I got rejected:
 'cvs server: cannot find module `xc' - ignored' , this was outside the  xc dir.
Does this really work or am I lost?

Any hints would be great
thanks

Andreas

Why would you want to create them at all?

Next question, is it possible to update an expanded tree via cvs? I tried
before but I got rejected:
 'cvs server: cannot find module `xc' - ignored' , this was outside the  xc
dir.
The error suggests that something was wrong with the CVS root you specified.

You can only update via CVS if there is a CVS/ directory in every source
directory which contains files describing the root of the repository etc.

Otherwise you have to checkout the whole tree from CVS first.
